Norths Coach and goal-keeper Andy Lennon returned to his old home ground at the Armidale Sportsground on Saturday in Round 7 of the New England Premier League where his old side, South Armidale, held out to their much fancied opponents Norths United one-all.
In what some would consider a boilover, South Armidale went into the match well and truly the underdogs. Norths held a one-nil lead for the majority of the match. However, through consistent attacks on the Norths goal, they finally made one stick late in the second half. A jubilant Souths held Norths at bay for the remainder of the game, to draw.
